A Streak of Tigers

Oct 312011

Over the last few months Woop has been working with Zoological Society London to raise awareness for the plight of the Sumatran tiger. today ZSL estimate that there are only 300 Sumatran tigers left living in the wild.
With that in mind we suggested we create an image highlighting this fact, whilst offering a print that would itself generate awareness and raise money. Thus was born ‘a Streak of Tigers’.
300 dots represent each remaining wild tiger, in an edition of 300 prints at £300 (large unframed), £150 of which will go directly to ZSL and its conservation work supporting the augmentation of the Sumatran tiger.

Sumatran tigers Lumpa and Raika at London Zoo loved our new prints, created especially for them.

Witches & Wizards

Oct 312011

Understandably after 10 years of Harry Potter, you may think Mira & Eduardo could do a Wizards and Witches print with their eyes closed, in fact when we suggested it, they rolled them.
However, after a good good beating with a broomstick, they worked their magic and came up with something better than we could ever have expected.

Duchy of Cornwall Nursery

Woop Chattering of Choughs Duchy of Cornwall

We were delighted when the Duchy of Cornwall Nursery in Lostwithiel contacted us to discuss stocking our prints. After chatting for a while we suggested that maybe we could do something more Cornish especially for them – and so A Chattering of Choughs was conceived.
We hope that you will enjoy this unique print with its rich Cornish references and whimsical royal crowns. It is available exclusively at the nursery shop or from our site.

London Wildlife Trust

A Hover of Kestrels and A Fondness of Stag Beetles

Woop Studios is proud to support local wildlife charity, London Wildlife Trust, by designing A Hover of Kestrels and A Fondness of Stag Beetles to promote the charity’s latest city-wide initiatives. A percentage of all sales of these prints will be donated to London Wildlife Trust.

London Wildlife Trust is the only charity dedicated solely to protecting the Capital’s wildlife and wild spaces, engaging London’s diverse communities through access to our nature reserves, campaigning, volunteering and education.

Its latest initiatives – a pioneering urban Kestrel Count and Stag Beetle Count – urge Londoners to get counting two of the city’s unique wild inhabitants in order to help London Wildlife Trust understand more about their distribution across London and to improve current conservation methods.

Kestrels are often seen on top of some of the Capital’s tall iconic buildings such as the Tower of London and the Barbican as well as most London boroughs, whereas stag beetles have been recorded in most London boroughs but are particularly loyal to certain areas such as Beckenham, Dulwich, Wandsworth and Richmond.

Please visit wildlondon.org.uk and start counting!
